Colorado Soldier’s Family Reacts To Iraq Troop Withdrawal

DENVER (CBS4) – The Iraq War officially ended Thursday with a small ceremony in Baghdad.

Soldiers rolled up the flag U.S. forces flew during the military campaign. It’s now headed back to the U.S.

The nearly 9-year war has killed more than 4,500 Americans and injured more than 30,000 others.

President Obama says nearly all U.S. troops will be home by Christmas.

CBS4’s Dominic Garcia spoke with a Colorado family, the Mobleys, with two sons who served in Iraq. The men are identical twins. Garcia asked one of the men about the end of the war — and just like the beginning — it’s filled with a lot of mixed emotions.
